Bureau de Style trends for summer 2007

Published: 05 January, 2006

The Bureau de Style Chaussure Maroquinerie Cuir have released their Colour and Materials Folder for summer 2007. The folder gives an in-depth analysis of the main consumer influences and presents a preview of the main ready-to-wear trends, colours and materials for the season, before the trade fairs begin.

It is a prospective tool, brought out very early in the season to meet the manufacturers' new needs and schedules.

The folder contains:

The spirit of the season - an invitation to fling open our windows and take in the mood of the times

Sociological and consumer attitudes - the Bureau de Style puts the accent on nine social and fashion phenomena which lead to new patterns of thought and consumer behaviour: Style de vie -- BCBG, on en parle; Les hommes sont de retour; Camping chic; A la mode: Tendance sport; La folie vintage; L'empire des sens; Désir de noir; Marketing de niche: Superdog; Soft sex.

Ready-to-wear trends - four major fashion trends for men women and children that will have repercussions on accessories: PLAGES DU NORD, SPORT ATTITUDE, PROFESSION REPORTER, EXPERIMENTAL ROCK

Recommended materials and colours - suggestions for colour harmonies and a range of leather colours. Four moods are recommended, reflecting the colours, materials, textures and surface effects for the next season: FRAÎCHEUR SCIENTIFIQUE, JARDIN EXTRAORDINAIRE, REFLETS DU NORD, VOYAGE D'ÉTÉ

Zoom on materials

Nature in all its splendour - an extraordinary bestiary, the depths of the sea, skeletons of fossils. Shapes and materials are powerfully influenced by strange beasts and their anatomy.

And as usual: useful addresses divided by themes and Bureau de Style's comments on the latest shops, places and fashion trends.

The colours and materials folder is available at the price of €646 including tax.

The price includes the definitive colour range which will be despatched as soon as it is released.
